Statistics of Swiss Super League football (soccer) competition in the 1966β67 season.
There were 14 teams contesting in the 1966β67 Nationalliga A and Basel finished the seasons as champions just one point clear of both FC ZΓΌrich in second position and FC Lugano who finished third. Basel won 16 of the 26 games, drawing eight, losing twice, and they scored 60 goals conceding just 20. [1] FC Moutier finished in last position and were relegated. FC Winterthur and FC La Chaux-de-Fonds finished level on points and thus played a relegation play-out. La Chaux-de-Fonds won 3β1 and Winterthur were also relegated. [2]
Basel also won the Swiss Cup. In the Cup final Basel's opponents were Lausanne-Sports. In the former Wankdorf Stadium on 15 May 1967, Helmut Hauser scored the decisive goal via penalty. The game went down in football history due to the sit-down strike that followed this goal. After 88 minutes of play, with the score at 1β1, referee Karl GΓΆppel awarded Basel a controversial penalty. AndrΓ© GrobΓ©ty had pushed Hauser gently in the back and he let himself drop theatrically. Subsequent to the 2β1 for Basel the Lausanne players refused to resume the game and they sat down demonstratively on the pitch. The referee had to abandon the match. Basel were awarded the cup with a 3β0 forfait. [3] [4] Basel won the double for the first time in the club's history. [2]
